This was such a fun read!

I've put off reading this for a bit because I'm not the biggest vampire person in the world. I can enjoy it in very small doses, but I get bored with the concept very easily. However! This was such a breath of fresh air in that regard, I felt like they were handled in a way that humanized them without removing their monstrous tendencies which is a hard line to walk.

The rest of the book itself was really enjoyable and well-plotted. A bit predictable but it's YA so I'm not holding that against it. The first half of the book was my favorite, as it almost reminded me of a dark, aged-up Disney movie. The push and pull of the two characters was fun to read about.

I also appreciated the fact this book didn't shy away from heavier topics. They were spoken about with the gravity they deserved, while still keeping the book YA - another impressive feat.

Overall, I liked this and I look forward to reading the sequel.
